“Oh, what a sinful nation! Their guilt is like a heavy weight that they must carry. They are evil, destructive children. They left the Lord and insulted the Holy One of Israel. They turned away and treated him like a stranger. What good will it do to keep punishing you? You will continue to rebel. Your whole head and heart are already sick and aching. From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head, every part of your body has wounds, cuts, and open sores. You have not taken care of them. Your wounds have not been cleaned and bandaged.
“I, the Lord, am the one speaking to you. Come, let’s discuss this. Even if your sins are as dark as red dye, that stain can be removed and you will be as pure as wool that is as white as snow.
God is good and does what is right, so he will rescue Zion and the people who come back to him. But all the criminals and sinners will be destroyed. Those who stopped following the Lord will be removed.”
Isaiah 1:4-6, 18, 27-28 ERV
